So I'm having this drama at work that I really need to vent about. Basically I had a misunderstanding with a coworker (let's call her Coworker A) in which she took an opinon I had about her work the wrong way. I'm a believer in sharing my opinions at work however unpopular they may be, and to be honest it was gentle constructive criticism at best. So, I knew that after this happened, she wouldn't be my biggest fan, but I figured it would all blow over eventually.
So I come to find out that now, another person (Coworker B), who is a teamate in my department, who has decided that for whatever reason she doesn't like me and is starting to fuel animosity between this woman and me. Coworker B is basically emailing Coworker A and telling her that I'm talking shit about her, which I'm totally NOT doing. It's like teenagers passing notes in class.
WTF...I don't get it. Not only is Coworker B causing unnecessary distress to me as well as Coworker A, but is also undermining the entire team that Coworker A has to get along with.
Where does this bitchiness come from? Boredom at work? PMS? I've been at this job 3 weeks and have been very nice to Coworker B. I'm pretty stunned by this behavior quite frankly.
Should I confront Coworker B? Right now I'm just letting my boss handle it, but I'm really, really tempted to confront Coworker B myself. I'm afraid that might cause extra drama though.
